  Children’s right to be heard and to participate in decisions affecting them is enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC 1989) and is incorporated into Norwegian legislation. The aim of this study was to explore the approaches used by Norwegian Educational-Psychological Services (EPS) to ensure children’s right to participation. We conducted a reflexive thematic analysis of 28 transcribed interviews with EPS counsellors, drawing on Lipsky’s theory of street-level bureaucracy to guide our interpretation. The participating counsellors reported the use of both direct engagement and indirect representation via proxies, although limited reflection on the risks of this approach was observed. While the EPS counsellors demonstrated a commitment to children’s participation, clearer procedural frameworks and targeted training are needed to balance discretionary practices with structured approaches. Strengthening these mechanisms would help ensure that children’s participation is both meaningful and consistently integrated into professional decision-making.

  Educational Psychological Services (EPS) counselors play an essential role in supporting students with special educational needs through assessments, interventions, and collaboration with key stakeholders. This study examines the relationship between interprofessional collaboration, job satisfaction, and intention to leave among EPS counselors, including the variables knowledge about collaboration, trust, affective commitment, and time pressure. Based on a cross-sectional design with structural equation modeling, the study analyzes data from 637 EPS counselors concerning their interprofessional collaborative practices with kindergartens, schools, child welfare services, and health services. The findings highlight that knowledge about collaboration, trust, and sufficient time are essential for effective interprofessional collaboration with kindergartens and schools. Affective commitment was strongly associated with job satisfaction, while time pressure was closely linked to EPS counselors’ intention to leave. Although interprofessional collaboration was not strongly related to job satisfaction or intention to leave, negative collaboration experiences with kindergartens and schools were positively related to EPS counselors’ intentions to leave. These findings underscore the importance of ensuring that EPS counselors have the necessary knowledge, trust, and time for effective interprofessional collaboration.

  De fleste seksåringer er veldig interessert i å lære å lese når de begynner på skolen (Walgermo et al., 2018a). For noen barn kan imidlertid tidlige vansker med lesing bli starten på et skoleløp preget av mangel på mestring, fallende engasjement og en følelse av utenforskap (Boyes et al., 2020). På lengre sikt gir lave leseferdigheter økt risiko for å falle ut av videregående skole (Korhonen et al., 2014) og av arbeidslivet (Lundetræ et al., 2010). Det er nemlig slik at de barna som strever med lesing på tidlige klassetrinn, ofte er de samme barna som strever med lesing på senere klassetrinn (Arnesen et al., 2017; Chard & Kameenui, 2000). Dette er vel og merke dersom vi ikke tar aktive grep for å motvirke en slik utvikling. For i dag vet vi mye om hvordan vi kan redusere andelen elever som strever med lesing, gjennom god tilpasset leseopplæring og tidlige intensive tiltak. Flere studier indikerer imidlertid at mange lærere er usikre på hvordan de skal tilpasse undervisningen for denne elevgruppen (se f.eks. Grimsæth & Holgersen, 2015; Husveg, 2014; Solheim et al., 2023). I dette kapittelet vil vi først gjøre rede for strukturelle betingelser for tidlig tilpasset leseopplæring i norsk skole. Vi vil deretter presentere resultater fra to nylig gjennomførte norske studier og på bakgrunn av disse resultatene diskutere noen forhold vi må være oppmerksom på dersom vi skal lykkes med en tilpasset leseopplæring som støtter opp om en inkluderende praksis.

  The purpose of this study was to explore the role of special education professionals in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in light of educational policies and reforms. The study places emphasis on (a) the policy context of inclusion and special needs education, (b) the formal qualifications required of special education professionals, and (c) the position of these professionals in compulsory education. Our approach involved a comparative analysis of how legislation and policies interact with the field of special education as a ‘professional jurisdiction’ in each of the four countries. We find that the major thrust of reforms has been aimed at reducing the number of students who receive special needs education and their placement in segregated settings. The introduction of early intervention, multi-tiered systems of support, and collaborative approaches are seen as means of reaching this goal. In addition, findings reveal that the special education profession is weaker in Denmark and Norway compared to Sweden and Finland. We argue that a lack of a consensus regarding the role and qualifications of special education professionals creates problems for schools and limits the availability of diverse forms of expertise which are necessary for inclusion.

  Aim: Cerebral visual impairment (CVI), a frequently occurring functional impairment in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, leads to communicative, social and academic challenges. In Norway, children with neurodevelopmental disorders are assessed at paediatric habilitation centres. Our aims were to explore how CVI is identified, how paediatric habilitation centres assess their CVI competence and the reported prevalence of CVI among children with cerebral palsy. Methods: An electronic questionnaire was sent to all 19 Norwegian paediatric habilitation centre leaders in January 2022. The results were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The prevalence of CVI among children with cerebral palsy was estimated using register-based data. Results: The questionnaire was answered by 17. Only three judged their habilitation centre as having sufficient competence on CVI. None of the centres used screening questionnaires systematically, and 11 reported that CVI assessment was not good enough. Awareness that a child may have CVI typically occurred during examinations for other diagnoses. The prevalence of CVI among children with cerebral palsy was only 8%, while CVI status was unknown in 33%. Conclusion: Better knowledge and assessment of CVI at Norwegian paediatric habilitation centres are needed. CVI appears to be often overlooked in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

  The purpose of this study was to examine data registered at an online bullying support chat-service over a three-year period to determine the characteristics of users and their experiences. The service was contacted 12,687 times during this period, leading to 7,641 chat-dialogues with counsellors, 57% of which (n = 4,388) were directly related to bullying. Findings indicate that 76% of chat-users were female and 89% were victims of bullying (ages 12–17). The extent of bullying experienced was extensive, typically occurring on a daily basis at school. More than 30% had not sought help prior to contacting the service. Verbal, relational, and physical bullying were all common, although verbal bullying was by far the most prevalent, occurring in 65% of cases. Consistent with survey research on bullying, boys were significantly more likely than girls to have been the victims of physical bullying, while the opposite was true for relational bullying.

  The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to identify the negative behaviors that constitute bullying in higher education as reported by students, and (b) to explore differences in student experiences in two markedly different national contexts. A sample of 1,189 respondents from two universities in Ghana (n = 751) and two universities in Norway (n = 438) answered the same questionnaire. Approximately 40% of the Ghanaian students and 20% of the Norwegian students responded that they had been bullied. Although less frequently observed than in Ghana, relational forms of bullying (e.g., being excluded) were more prevalent in Norway compared to other behaviors. In contrast, direct and verbal forms of bullying, such as name-calling and being taunted, were most common in Ghana. The findings provide insights into cultural and national variations with respect to negative social behaviors related to bullying in the context of higher education.

  Conclusion The scoping review shows that very little research has been conducted on the use of STT for adolescents with learning difficulties in secondary education. Findings from the studies identified five areas of interest: writing related skills, text assessment, writing processes, accuracy of the technology, and participants’ experiences. Findings indicate that writing performance among students with learning difficulties improves when using STT. Parents, teachers, and pupils report positive experiences with the technology, particularly for students with severe reading and writing difficulties. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION There is a great need for more robust research on the use of speech-to-text technology (STT) in educational settings, especially on its effect on writing skills Studies describe STT as either an assistive (a compensatory aid for poor writing performance) or instructional technology (aiming to improve learning in general). It is important that practitioners are aware of the different aims and possible consequences of introducing STT to learners with writing difficulties. STT provides both opportunities and challenges for writers with learning difficulties in secondary education. Findings indicate that writing performance among students with learning difficulties improves when using STT, yet inaccuracy of the technology was presented as one of the main challenges. Parents, teachers, and pupils report positive experiences with the technology, particularly for students with severe reading and writing difficulties.

  «PPTs systemrettede arbeid i barnehagen» handler om barnet som en del av en sosial kontekst. En av oppgavene til Pedagogisk psykologisk tjeneste (PPT) er å bistå barnehagen med kompetanse- og organisasjonsutvikling. Bistanden skal bidra til å tilrettelegge barnehagens tilbud til barn med behov for særlig tilrettelegging eller spesialpedagogiske tiltak. Slike tiltak går under betegnelsen systemrettet arbeid. Boka viser at det ikke er en todeling mellom system- og individrettet arbeid. Forfatterne tar for seg PPTs systemrettede arbeid både i et historisk og et teoretisk perspektiv. De ser også nærmere på barns medvirkning, og de belyser systemrettet arbeid i møte med både mangfold og ledelse samt kompetanse- og organisasjonsutvikling. Antologien er forskningsbasert og praksisrelevant. Boka er skrevet for studenter innenfor spesialpedagogikk og velferdsfag, samt forskere og tilsatte i PPT og barnehager.

  Artikkelen drøfter resultater fra en kombinasjonsstudie (mixed methods design) som undersøker hvorvidt Arbeidsplassbasert barnehagelærerutdanning (ABLU) bidrar til forbedret praksis for kunnskapsdeling i et utvalg involverte barnehager. Datamaterialet består av en spørreskjemaundersøkelse rettet mot ABLU-studenter og deres mentorer, og fokusgruppesamtaler med personalet i fire ABLU-barnehager. Et sentralt funn er at ABLU-studiets bidrag til økt kunnskapsdeling i barnehagen først og fremst ligger i studiets kapasitet til å øke studentens kommunikative kompetanse og teoretiske forståelse, samt stimulere til å anvende denne i praksis. Vi finner også at ved å satse mer på opplæring i veiledning av barnehagepersonalet generelt og oppfølging av mentorer spesielt, vil både ABLU-studenten og ABLU-barnehagen kunne få mer igjen for studiet. Våre funn underbygger tidligere forskning som viser viktigheten av ledelsens engasjement og tilrettelegging for at studiet skal kunne ha innvirkning på barnehagen som kunnskapsvirksomhet. Et slikt engasjement krever tydelige strukturer for samarbeid fra utdanningsinstitusjonenes side, for å involvere barnehageledelsen og slik indirekte kunne formidle forventninger om forsterket deltakelse også til øvrige medarbeidere.

  The purpose of this study is to investigate school district administrators’ perspectives concerning the professional activities and influence of special educators in Norway (n = 266) and Sweden (n = 290). We examine three themes drawn from a survey of practices and policies in each country: (a) the organisational arrangements in which special educators work, (b) perceived changes in special educators’ activities, and (c) ratings of special educators’ influence on the content of instruction and the availability of resources for children with special needs. Findings suggest that special educators frequently work in teams, function largely as advisors, and spend less time working with individual students than in previous years. There appears to be a more pronounced increase in special educators’ time devoted to advising and documentation in Sweden than in Norway. Swedish special educators were also more frequently described as working in multidisciplinary teams. Participants in both countries rated the influence of special educators significantly higher than that of parents and teachers on the availability and distribution of resources; and significantly higher than politicians, public officials, teachers, and parents with regard to influence over the content of instruction. We discuss these findings in relation to the goals and development of inclusive education in Scandinavia.

  Teacher–student interactions in 17 inclusive classrooms were examined using a mixed-methods approach that involved quantitative analysis of interactions recorded during classroom observations and follow-up interviews with seven general educators. Observational findings suggest that classrooms were organised along traditional lines with the vast majority of interactions provided by general educators to the whole class, followed by brief intervals of 1 : 1 interactions directed towards individual students, most frequently children with disabilities. Interview findings suggest that teachers were aware of the greater individual attention devoted to students with disabilities and described a number of ways that they adapt their instruction that are consistent with the research on effective teaching. In addition, participants struggled with the dilemma of balancing their attention between students whom they perceived as needing it most and ensuring that the class as a whole made adequate progress. The analysis of both observational and interview data indicates that paraprofessionals were responsible for a large portion of instruction and curricular decision making for children with severe disabilities in these classrooms.

  The purpose of this study was to examine the role and responsibilities of Norwegian kindergarten (i.e., preschool for ages 0–6 years) from the perspective of participants involved in multidisciplinary collaboration on behalf of children with severe disabilities and their families. The authors employed a multiple-case study approach comprising 26 interviews across six cases. Findings suggest that kindergarten is considered an important partner for families and a major contributor to the provision of services. Kindergartens were valued for their (1) close relationships and intimate knowledge of children as individuals, (2) the sense of security and relief of stress that they provided to parents, and (3) for acting as a “driving force” in multidisciplinary collaboration. Findings are discussed in relation to two contrasting views of the kindergarten professional as an early childhood expert and as a compassionate caregiver who, in many ways, functions as an extension of the parental role. The authors conclude that it is the latter of these two perspectives that dominates perceptions of kindergarten professionals among participants.

  There are multiple routes to becoming a special educator in Norway. In recent years, bachelor’s degree programmes have offered an alternative to the traditional path in which special education coursework is taken as a part of teacher education. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether these different programmes produce different understandings of the special education profession and its core concepts. We surveyed 27 bachelor students and 36 teacher education students using open-ended questions concerning their future goals and expectations and the concepts of ‘inclusion,’ ‘learning disability,’ and ‘special educator’. Teacher education students were more likely to: (a) view inclusion from a broad perspective, emphasizing a sense of belonging and community, (b)define the concept of learning disability from a categorical perspective, and (c) perceive special educators as essentially ‘expert’ teachers for children with special needs. Bachelor’s degree students also emphasized special educators’ role in supporting individuals with special needs, yet were more likely to apply a relational perspective when describing the concept of learning disability.

  Hensikten med denne studien var å vise hvordan ulike former for profesjonsutøvelse kan fremme eller hemme at samarbeid fører til et vellykket resultat. Undersøkelsen er en casestudie der vi studerer tverrfaglig samarbeid rundt en fem år gammel jente med en omfattende funksjonshemming. Vi brukte en kvalitativ tilnærming der datagrunnlaget stammet fra halvstrukturerte intervjuer med 5 personer involvert i utvikling og oppfølging av jentas individuelle plan (IP). Tre sentrale temaer kom fram i analysen: (a) hvordan språket synliggjør den profesjonelle ekspertisen, (b) betydningen av motstridende verdier for profesjonsutøvelse og (c) hvordan deltakernes opplevelse av resultatet har betydning for samarbeidet. Funnene indikerer blant annet at å bruke språk som signaliserer profesjonens faglige ekspertise er viktig for at dens bidrag blir verdsatt og tatt i bruk, at manglende kommunikasjon om motstridende verdier kan være skadelig for samarbeidet, og at samarbeidets resultat bør stå foran samarbeidets form og prosess.

  Artikkelen belyser hvordan forholdene ligger til rette for at PPT kan arbeide systemisk i barnehagen. Spørreskjema ble sendt til ansatte og ledere ved PPT-kontor i Norge med ansvar for barnehagealder. Resultatene viser at (a) flertallet av ansatte har både barnehage og skole som ansvarsområde og at halvparten ikke har regelmessig kontakt med barnehager, (b) støtte med utgangspunkt i enkeltbarn utgjør en stor andel av tjenestens totale arbeidstid og (c) tjenesten ønsker å opprettholde andelen individrettede arbeid og samtidig øke systemrettet innsats. Vår konklusjon er at forholdene ikke synes å ligge godt til rette for systemarbeid. Teoretiske og praktiske implikasjoner er diskutert.

  The purpose of this study was to examine the different types and patterns of 1:1 interactions provided by general educators, special educators and paraprofessionals to children with mild disabilities (n = 13), severe disabilities (n = 13), and children without disabilities (n = 13) in inclusive classrooms. General educators, special educators, and paraprofessionals’ 1:1 interactions with students in three comparison groups were recorded in 17 elementary and middle school classrooms using a partial interval observation system. We found significant differences with respect to interaction frequency and content. Teachers and paraprofessionals had consistently more 1:1 interactions with students with severe disabilities, followed by children with mild disabilities, and then students without disabilities. In comparison to special education teachers and paraprofessionals, general educators interacted significantly more frequently with children without disabilities and children with mild disabilities. In contrast, paraprofessionals interacted significantly more often with students with severe disabilities and less frequently with children with mild disabilities and students without disabilities. Instructional interactions in social, behavioural, and functional domains were infrequent in these classrooms. We conclude with a brief discussion of the implications of these findings for future research and practice.

  The purpose of this study was to examine special education policy and practice from the perspective of school district administrators in Norway and Sweden. Administrators from 266 Norwegian and 262 Swedish municipalities completed a survey concerning: (a) reasons children need special education, (b) common and desired organizational solutions, and (c) the influence of policy on practice. Despite a number of clear differences, findings suggest that Swedish and Norwegian administrators share similar attitudes regarding the provision of special education support. It appears that in both countries inclusive practices are seen as the ideal, yet, Norwegian administrators appear to have a stronger preference for categorical or segregated solutions. However, this finding must be viewed in light of current practices in each country. In particular, we take into consideration data indicating that 17% of Swedish students receive special educational support, as compared to approximately 6% in Norway.

  This article presents findings from an investigation in southern Norway that sought to provide insight into diverse forms of collaboration on behalf of children with severe disabilities in preschool. The use of individual plans (IP) for preschool-age children is relatively new in Norway, and is being widely promoted as a tool for facilitating collaboration and support from multiple sectors. We employed a case study approach involving observations and semi-structured interviews with 5 members of the IP team supporting a 5 year-old girl with a severe disability. Using qualitative content analysis we determined relevant themes from transcribed interviews and field notes. Participants included the child's mother and father, preschool teacher, special educator, and the municipal public health nurse who also acted as the IP coordinator. We conclude that in its current form the IP in this case had little relevance for participants and did little to contribute to providing this child with the individually adapted support that the policy was intended to facilitate.

  Research indicates that everyday life in Norwegian kindergarten is often characterized by time pressures and strains on collaboration (Borg, Kristiansen & Backe-Hansen, 2008). This article presents findings from an investigation that sought to provide insight into diverse forms of collaboration around children with severe disabilities. The use of individual plans (IP) is an important part of how services are coordinated and was a central aspect of this investigation. We employed a case-study approach involving semi-structured interviews and observation of 5 participants who have key roles in the life of a 5 year-old girl with a severe disability. Using qualitative content analysis we determined relevant themes from transcribed interviews and field notes. In its current form, the IP in this case appeared to have little relevance for participants and, therefore, probably did not contribute significantly to providing this child with the individually adapted support that it was intended to facilitate.

  This article describes two related studies that investigated inclusive teachers' concern and rejection toward their students. In the first study, 14 inclusive teachers rated their concern and rejection toward 26 of their students with disabilities. We observed interactions between teachers and students for approximately two hours per child. Partial correlations, controlling for severity of disability, indicated that (a) instructional-academic interactions correlated significantly and positively with teachers' concern ratings and (b) noninstructional-behavioral interactions significantly and positively correlated with teachers¿ rejection ratings. In the second study, 65 inclusive teachers provided concern and rejection ratings for all students in their classes. We compared teachers' concern and rejection ratings of students with learning disabilities (n = 77), cognitive disabilities (n = 44), attention deficit disorder (n = 20), behavioral disorders (n = 19), and without disabilities (n = 1,153) using ANOVAs and Scheffe post-hoc tests. Results indicated that (a) students in all disability categories received significantly higher concern ratings than nondisabled students, (b) students with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders received significantly higher rejection ratings than nondisabled students, and (c) students with behavioral disorders received significantly higher rejection ratings than students with cognitive disabilities. Implications of these findings and recommendations for practice are discussed.

  A Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015 is an international initiative focused on the issues of integrating Roma people in nine Central and South-Eastern European countries. Bulgaria is one of the nine countries with predominantly high proportions of Roma population in its territory. The goal of this book is to educate the reader about the situation in Bulgaria, as understanding the challenges of the Roma situation is a vital prerequisite for breaking the vicious circle of poverty and discrimination afflicting the Roma community. We gain an insight into the educational prospects for the Roma minority and suggest that education is the key factor for improving the unenviable position of the Roma minority and integrating them in Bulgarian society. There is a shade of criticism on what has not been done over the last five years and some positive examples of how it functions in practice. The reader can also find references to the Norwegian experience as a comparative approach to addressing the situation of minorities. The book should be very useful to professionals in the field of inclusive education and minority issues or anyone else interested in Roma integration.

  The issue of bullying has received worldwide attention in recent years. However, research on bullying in early childhood is sparse. Indeed, the use of the term “bullying” to describe negative behaviours such as targeted, relational, and physical aggression among preschool-age children is not without controversy (Alberti-Espenes, 2010). Yet, it has been argued that bullying can be distinguished from other forms of aggression in that it reflects a form of unequal coercive power (Olweus, 1993), a condition that is clearly incompatible with the creation of inclusive, high quality early childhood services. Thus, there is a need to investigate the behaviours and conditions associated with bullying within this context. This presentation will describe findings from a Norwegian research project comprising three investigations: (a) Preschool children’s experiences with relationships, well-being, and play interactions; (b) Childcare workers’ relationships with children in the attachment process, and (c) A survey of parents and preschool workers’ perspectives on bullying in preschool. The first study comprised individual and focus-group interviews with children from 4 to 6 years of age in which emphasis was placed on children's experiences and perceptions related to teasing and bullying. The second investigation applied a critical ethnographic approach in which two preschools were observed over several weeks and reflective conversations were conducted between the researcher and caregivers based on video recordings of their interactions with children. The third study comprised a quantitative survey of childcare workers (n = 94) and parents (n = 257) drawn from six preschools. Results shed light on several important questions within the field, including: How are positive, inclusive relationships among preschool children created and maintained? What is the role of adults in this process? What factors predict preschool workers and parents’ attitudes towards bullying?

  Prosenten av elever i verden som får spesialpedagogisk støtte varierer vesentlig fra land til land. I Sverige er det 17 % av barn som får slik støtte (Skolverket, 2003) mens i USA er andelen ca. 11 % (US DOE, 2005). I Norge er det kun 6 % av elever som får spesialunder-visning etter enkelt vedtak (NOU, 2003), mens i Finland derimot er det nærmere 20% av alle barn i grunnskolen som får spesialundervisning (Kivirauma & Ruoho, 2007). Forkla-ringer for slike variasjoner kan være mange. Blant annet er det spørsmål om hvordan man definerer både problemet, behovet og tiltaket som igangsettes. Samtidig er det sosiale og politiske innflytelser som kan ha signifikant betydning for skolens struktur og arbeid. Inter-nasjonal bevegelse mot inkludering og press fra internasjonal konkurranse i den nye globale økonomien er også med på å påvirke skolens prioritering. Vår forståelse for disse fenomener kan bedres ved å sammenligne måten lignende trender utvikles internasjonalt og ved å se på responser til disse trendene på tvers av landsgrenser. Slike analyser krever fora hvor internasjonale forskere kommer sammen for å dele kunnskap.
